The Benefits & Practice of Expository Preaching (Part 2)

The Benefits & Practice of Expository Preaching (Part 2)

The Benefits & Practice of Expository Preaching (Part 2)
Q: What does your expository preaching look like when you are a guest preacher at another church?
I will bring a text that aligns with the principles of expository preaching, ensuring it is expositional and relevant to the congregation.
